How he got there: In his fourth year with the Steelers, Keisel has become a regular on the defensive line and is listed by the team as "a top special-teams player." He appeared in all 16 regular-season games in 2005 and all three playoff games as a reserve defensive end. He saved one of his best performances for the AFC championship game in Denver. Keisel recorded four tackles and two sacks in the 34-17 victory that punched the Steelers' Super Bowl ticket. The former Cougar all-MWC lineman helped seal the game for Pittsburgh with a fourth-quarter sack and forced fumble of Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer. The Steelers recovered the ball at their own 17-yard line, putting the game out of reach. Keisel's season totals include 17 tackles and three sacks.
